When I first see you
I babble like a creek
With drops of words
Finding their way
through a crevice
in my mind.
A mind consumed
With your smile
From the moment
I see you.
Once my words
find their way,
They dig a ravine
That allows each and every
Thought in my head
To tumble out unexamined
Unprescripted, unable to say
What’s on my mind
Consumed with your smile
From the moment
I see you.
Finally, I become myself
And form sentences
that make sense
And thoughts worth speaking
Just then, you smile again
And I return to idiocy
Consumed with your smile
Doomed to babble
From the moment
I see you.
